Excellent solution.

My 1930s "Buck Rogers" model Triebert oboe
(Triebert, not Couesnon "Triebert")
has a mechanism reminiscent of Chris' solution.
I have posted some photographs of the Triebert oboe with the left F touch removed to show the left C# mechanism.
The left C# key touch on the Triebert is in the same position as Chris' retrofit.

The Triebert also has the "Bleuzet system" (lever off the ring D key) that actuates (governs) the Eb key-cup lever when lefty Eb is pressed to accomplish a perfect D#-E trill. Also has left F, F resonance, 3rd octave.

I love having a left C# on my Hiniker oboe.
A left C# is now standard on all new Hiniker oboes.

I prefer the lever type touch for left C# inboard of the left F touch, than having it be like a left "Eb" touch.
I have bent the left C# touch upwards on the Triebert so I do not feel as though I am 'fishing' for the key.

I am astonished that all of the high end makers do not offer left C# as standard. It could not possibly cost much more (if anything) in the manufacturing process to eliminate the (dumb) "banana key," and simply have a left C#.

I am lobbying a couple of makers now (Puchner and Bulgheroni, though it is difficult to buck tradition.
Puchner at least offers the left C# as an option.

With best wishes,
Peter
